WHAT IS IT?
Hopefully reading those verses yesterday began to give you an idea of how God views money. As far as tithing goes, it began as a command and exercise for God's people to remember just exactly where their provision came from. Whether of their flock or of their garden, the first ten percent of whatever they gained was to be given back to God; and not only ten percent, but the best ten percent.
There's something about giving your first back to God that reminds you that He actually is the reason you have any of it to begin with.
And there is nothing that will move faster and get a tighter grip around our heart than our money. As we'll see in the coming passages, this tithing and returning back to God is actually less of an obligation and more of a gift - it helps us to keep our hearts from relying on something so fickle. It provides us with a tangible way of saying, "God, I trust you and I know that you can do far more with this ten percent than I could do with the ninety percent!"
Why do we tithe? Because it helps us to remember who our real Provider is!
About this Plan
When we fool ourselves into thinking that God is after our money or needs our money, we miss the whole point. God is after our hearts, and many times in our day and age, we have trouble separating our money from our hearts. In fact, we've found many times it's one of the hardest things for people to be obedient in. We've also seen that many Christians carry around unnecessary anxiety and worry because they refuse to trust God with their finances. Take your life back by learning to be faithful with your money through this Bible plan!
